From Witches, Norse Gods, and Spider-men too

To super sets being built in studios new.

Heroes converging from their Hollywood view

Did the MCU help turn Georgia blue?

In 2015, a little film called Civil War went to camera

In and around the city of Atlanta.

The tax incentives were too good to eschew

They were so good, in fact, they made Homecoming too.

Fast-forward half a decade and Georgia is hot

With superheroes, supervillians, both onscreen and not.

Disney pumping billions into a Marvel stew

Did the MCU help turn Georgia blue?

The Peach State getting redder since 2008

Until 2016, when that trend began to abate.

In 2018, Abrams nearly came through

While artists and craftspeople, to Georgia, they flew.

Then came 2020 and 2021

Where Republicans lost and Democrats won.

From Trump to Senators Loeffler and Perdue
